This is a blog about slightly safer motorcycling. Bikesafer.com is a collection of links for the practical biker focused on motorcycle safety. It looks at riding risks as a hierarchy, with graphic tools and hundreds of sensibly linked articles on bike safety.

We've included a study milestones section, which summarizes the main developments so far. We added a cost comparison study which we had previously blogged, then we provide the little we know about the funds spent, mainly the $994K provided in the 2006 SAFETEA-LU allocation. We expect to learn more from our pending Freedom of Information Act request for additional FHTSA documents on the pilot study. We briefly air the study sample size issue and challenged Dr. Ahmed to demonstrate his knowledge of the literature and basic bike skills.

We are still frustrated at the lack of progress and good information on this issue, and our petition is gathering signatures daily.
